Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 23PDQ
Based on our discussion of the potential inaccuracy of mapping (see Figure 5.12), would you revise your answer to Problem 22? If so, how?
- (a) Two-strand double exchange
FIGURE 5.12 (a) A double crossover is undetected because no rearrangement of alleles occurs. (b) The theoretical and actual percentage of recombinant chromatids versus map distance. The straight line shows the theoretical relationship if a direct correlation between recombination and map distance exists. The curved line is the actual relationship derived from studies of Drosophila, Neurospora, and Zea mays.

Alleles of genes A and B were analyzed in Neurospora according to the cross shown below. Ordered tetrads are summarized in each horizontal row with the number of tetrads in each category listed alongside.
A) Analyze the data to determine the recombination frequency (RF) between A and B, along with any additional information that is available from this data.
B) Draw a map of the chromosome or chromosomes with appropriate map distances.
C) Use the Perkins formula to reanalyze any relationship between A and B.
In com, male sterility is controlled by maternal cytoplasmic elements. However, the presence of a nuclear fertility restorer gene (F_) restores fertility to male sterile lines.
a. What are the crosses male sterile female x FF male? Give the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring in each cross. Explain.
In the Holliday model for homologous recombination shown, the resolution steps can produce recombinant or nonrecombinantchromosomes. Explain how this can occur.

- A form of male sterility in corn is inherited maternally. Marcus Rhoades first described this cytoplasmic male sterility by crossing female gametes froma male sterile plant with pollen from a male fertileplant. The resulting progeny plants were malesterile.a. Diagram the cross, using different colors andshapes to distinguish between nuclear (lines) andcytoplasmic (circles) genomes from the male sterile (one color) and male fertile (another color)strains.b. Female gametes from the male sterile progenywere backcrossed with pollen from the same malefertile parent of the first cross. The process was repeated many times. Diagram the next two generations including possible crossover events.c. What was the purpose of the series of backcrosses?[Hint: Look at your answer to part (b) and thinkabout what is happening to the nuclear genome.]Why could Rhoades interpret these results as ademonstration of cytoplasmic male sterility?arrow_forwardA yeast geneticist irradiates haploid cells of a strain thatis an adenine-requiring auxotrophic mutant, caused bymutation of the gene ade1. Millions of the irradiatedcells are plated on minimal medium, and a small number of cells divide and produce prototrophic colonies.These colonies are crossed individually with a wildtype strain. Two types of results are obtained:(1) prototroph × wild type : progeny all prototrophic(2) prototroph × wild type : progeny 75% prototrophic,25% adenine-requiring auxotrophsa.
